Building A Patio Cooler Table

We are excited to share our detailed plans outlining our process for building an ice chest patio table, which we fondly refer to as “The Patio Party Table.”

The finished patio table measures 76 1/8”L x 40 1/2″D x 30”H and features 2 drink coolers with lids.

Dimensions

Materials:

- Printable Woodworking Plan - 5 – 2×8 8′ length (table top) - 2 – 2×6 8′ length (ice box lids) - 5 – 2×4 8′ length (framing/skirting) - 2 – 4×4 8′ length (table legs)

Tools

- Miter saw or circular saw - Table saw (optional but very helpful) - Measuring tape - Pencil - Drill

How do you add a drink cooler to a picnic table?

The table design is centered around these specific planter boxes, available in the outdoor/plant department at Home Depot or on their website.
